Detection of the prodigiosin biosynthesis protein (pigC) from Serratia marcescens: development of a novel PCR assay

[...]this study developed a simple and novel PCR assay for the detection of the prodigiosin biosynthesis protein (pigC) gene in S. marcescens and this assay may be useful in clinical microbiology laboratories routinely culturingddentifying S. marcescens, as no such assay has been reported to date.
